My MT ET Street Radials did, stock A body 8 3/4 with Moser axles and weld 15 X 8 with a 4.5" back space. Off set springs and the rear end moved back 1/2". I did trim the wheel well lip some.

I wish that was all I needed to do was trim the lip a little.

Sure enough, the 275 had plenty of clearance! I had Wheel Vintiques make a 15 x 7 with a custom 5" backspacing. I have nothing but things to say about them. The wheels were straight and true and it only took the 1.5 weeks to get them to me. Other than the custom BS, I did move the springs in 1/2". I have 1/2" clearance on both sides. Hopefully that'll be enough... I spotted the tire guy an extra 20 for letting me try both size tires. Believe it or not, I still have about 3/4" front clearance with the 275's.
